Entry Requirements Normally, applicants for entry to the Certificate in Career Needs Assessment, Planning and Support for Work should be at least 21 years of age by 1st of January of application year, with a minimum of two years’ training / work with the unemployed in a development capacity or comparable experience AND holding a Leaving Certificate / FETAC Level 5 qualification or equivalent.
All applicants whose first language is not English must have attained IELTS level 6.5 or the equivalent TOEFL score.
Course Content Programme Structure
The Certificate in Career Needs Assessment, Planning and Support for Work is a part-time programme delivered over 9 months through both attendance at lectures and facilitated workshop event, and self-study using dedicated learning materials (reading list). Each module is taught through approximately 48 hours of lectures / workshops and guest speakers relevant to the module.

The programme is assessed through continuous assessment (comprising practical assignments / essays / presentations). There is a requirement to produce a Client Needs Analysis Report (7000 words). Students are required to conduct a ‘real life’ needs assessment and feedback session with a client (under the supervision of the teaching team).

Programme Aims & Objectives
With rising levels of unemployment and intervention demands arising for those on an exit route from employment (due to redundancy and the lack of employment sustainability), personnel with the remit of training and development in support of the unemployed have found themselves dealing with a disparate grouping of individuals.

Particular challenge is being faced in meeting the needs of unemployed professionals i.e. those who have held a long-standing professional career prior to unemployment.
In association with the Irish Institute of Training and Development (IITD), the Certificate in Career Needs Assessment, Planning and Support for Work provides an opportunity for training providers (both private and state body), Career Advisors / Counsellors providing services to the unemployed or those in the process of exiting employment to engage in continuous professional development (CPD) in order to better respond to new challenges in this field.

For students pursuing the full Certificate this is an intensive 9 month programme providing comprehensive coverage of the identification of training needs of the unemployed through the application of formal needs analysis processes within a supportive and counselling framework. The student will acquire a sound understanding of the role of employment to an individual’s identity and standing in society. Key trends in occupations in Ireland are examined in unison with an appreciation for the current and projected future contexts.
